AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach significantly improves the accuracy and speed of coating formulation by focusing on analytically identified colorants, reducing processing time and errors, and providing a more efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Problems solved by technology

If the target coating composition is not properly identified, any resulting repair to the automobile's coating will not match the original coating.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The present invention extends to systems and methods for optimizing a coating formulation through a user interface. For example, a computer system can receive spectrometric data from a target coating. The spectrometric data can comprise spectrophotometric data, spectrocolorimetric data, data acquired via image processing, and / or any other similar data. The coating identification computer system processes the spectrometric data through a probabilistic colorant analysis. The probabilistic colorant analysis identifies a set of colorants that are likely present in the coating and associates each colorant with a probability that the colorant is present in the target coating. As used herein, colorants include pigments, including effect pigments, dyes, inks, stains, and any other related coating or coating component. A user interface can display at least a portion of the colorants that have the greatest likelihood of being within the target coating. A user is then able to manually se...

Abstract

A computer system for optimizing a coating formulation through a user interface processes spectrometric data through a probabilistic colorant analysis. The probabilistic colorant analysis generates a set of colorants that are each associated with a calculated probability that the associated colorant is present within a target coating. The system identifies a proposed group of colorants from within the set of colorants that are associated with the highest calculated probabilities of being present within the target coating. The system displays on a graphical user interface an indication of each colorant within the proposed group of colorants. The system receives input through one or more selectable interface elements that define a user-defined group of colorants selected from the proposed group of colorants. The system generates a coating formulation, wherein the coating formulation is generated from the user-defined group of colorants.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Modern coatings provide several important functions in industry and society. Coatings can protect a coated material from corrosion, such as rust. Coatings can also provide an aesthetic function by providing a particular color and / or texture to an object. For example, most automobiles are coated using paints and various other coatings in order to protect the metal body of the automobile from the elements and also to provide aesthetic visual effects.[0002]In view of the wide-ranging uses for different coatings, it is often necessary to identify a target coating composition. For instance, it might be necessary to identify a target coating composition on an automobile that has been in an accident. If the target coating composition is not properly identified, any resulting repair to the automobile's coating will not match the original coating. As used herein, a target coating comprises any coating of interest that has been applied to any physical object.[0003]There are ma...
